They haven’t competed well in conference tournaments basketball included Mc Neese blew them out in the tournament and obviously everyone knows there is no tournament in football 

Did football make it to a postseason game NO Did men or Women’s basketball make it to the ncaa tournament NO did men’s baseball or softball make it to a regional tournament NO

The answer is simple, they DO NOT COMPETE well in the SLC TOURNAMENT If they do in your opinion, why are they sitting at the house every year after the tournament!

I think your definition of "competing" is much different than everyone else's definition of "competing".

IMO (and most anybody's) making the conference tourney finals is competing. Finishing 2nd or 3rd in the regular season standings is competing. Not competing would be finishing in the bottom half of the standings.

Would everyone here love for Lamar to win championships and make NCAA tourneys? Of course. But your take that Lamar has to win championships in order to be competing is absolutely wrong and so unrealistic.

I honestly believe that Lamar is heading in the right direction under this AD.

Tell me you didn’t watch the game without telling me you didn’t watch the game.  You obviously don’t know basketball from the hollow space between your ears.  Thanks for confirming 😂

Yes Lamar is improving in football, basketball, and baseball until they play in the conference tournament Then they tend to stink it up. Your goal should be to win conference championships and make it to postseason games. Yes they are improving 2nd or 3rd is better than 8th or 9th, however you are judged by making it to postseason play and as of today it is not happening 

For Txhoops 63-54 in basketball is a blowout

That last statement is so comical. Completely tells us your knowledge (lack thereof) of the game. 

You do realize that a 9 point win is just a 3 possession game which many teams have lost those leads in less than a minute of game time. Hardly a blowout.

Now if you want to say a 9 run win in baseball is a blowout, then you would be accurate in stating that. But basketball, that's a joke.

You should also be advised not to debate basketball knowledge with TxHoops.

That game was 3 points at half and was nip and tuck in the second half until late when Lamar was forced to foul and free throws widened the final margin.  AS IS OFTEN THE CASE IN BASKETBALL.  Anyone who has any knowledge of the game, or actually knows what they are looking at when watching the game, knows this.  Someone who likes to wager on the game, has benefitted or been screwed by late game free throws in an otherwise very tight game routinely.  That’s basketball.  Which you continue to make very evident you have virtually know understanding of.  I am guessing you also ask the person sitting next to you at a game, if you have ever attended one, why free throws are free?

100% 😂

[spidersal]

The subject matter is simple. Did Lamar win the conference championship?  Did Lamar win the conference tournament?

Obviously the answer is NO, so who are the clueless ones?

The sad news is y’all think they are good and let’s remember that they are in one of the weakness D1 conferences in  the NCAA

I do agree that they belong in the SLC and that they have improved, however they are not what I would call good

I am discovering that you 2 don’t really care if they win just as long as you get to watch them play

If I am clueless, y’all are really clueless, because it appears that I am the only one that realizes that THEY DID NOT WIN in any major sport!

We have poor specialsal reeling now that he’s been exposed as a clueless mom in the stands.  It’s okay little guy.  We all can’t know everything about everything.  I know you probably have your areas of expertise too…I have no doubt you would destroy us in Real Housewives trivia.

Txhoops, you may know a lot about basketball, however you don’t seem to understand that Lamar did not win the conference championship or SLC tournament   I agree that the SLC is the one they should be in, but don’t try and tell me that the SLC is a strong conference  It is one of the weakest in D1 of the NCAA

No one once has said the SLC is a strong conference.  You’ve been having that convo with yourself, specialsal

[spidersal]

So here is my question to you. Now that I know that you understand Lamar is in a weak conference, when is the last year Lamar won the conference title or the conference tournament 

The real question is why do you think they are better than mediocre?  They haven’t won anything in basketball in several years  Am I missing something?

I agree that men’s basketball, baseball, and football showed improvement this year, however they haven’t won any titles, so IMO they are still mediocre

You lost us all when you said a 9 point win in basketball is a blowout.

Anything you say afterwards we all have to take with a grain of salt.

[spidersal]

That statement is as Wally Clever always  said giving you the business and it certainly did

[spidersal]

The 2 blow out losses were to A&M and Texas Tech

Nice try.

Pretty certain you think a 9 point win in basketball is a blowout.

[spidersal]

I think I know exactly what a blow out is

The truth for this past season for Lamar

Football even though they were only 7-5, it was still their best season in many years

Mens basketball had their best season in many years 20-13 with only 2 blowout losses to 2 very good teams A&M and Tech. All other losses were close, even the 3 losses to McNeese that had an excellent year and a win in the tournament were close

Baseball had a very good regular season record 40-15

In fact the only major sport that did not do well was softball(I don’t count VB as a major sport)

So yes Lamar athletics had a very good year

I think the biggest disappointment was baseball losing 2 straight in SLC tournament against teams they had defeated in conference. I just don’t know why women’s basketball and baseball do not do well when they get to the conference tournament 

so yes I do know what a blowout is!
